Abstract (en)

The invention relates to an apparatus (APP) for configuration of a second communication device (CD2) intended to replace a first communication device (CD1), comprising:a mechanical part adapted to complete the structure of the first communication device (CD1) and the structure of the second communication device (CD2),a RFID tag (RT) linked to a processing unit (PU) and a memory (MEM),wherein the RFID tag comprises a receiver configured to receive a first input signal from a first RFID reading device located in the first communication device (CD1), wherein the first input signal comprises configuration data (ConfD) of the first communication device (CD1), when the apparatus is linked to the first communication device (CD1),wherein the processing unit (PU) is configured to store the configuration data (ConfD) in the memory (MEM),wherein the receiver is further configured to receive a second input signal from a second RFID reading device located in the second communication device (CD2), wherein the second input signal comprises a request for configuration data, when the apparatus is linked to the second communication device (CD2),wherein the processing unit (PU) is configured to retrieve the configuration data (ConfD) in the memory (MEM),wherein the RFID tag comprises a transmitter configured to transmit an output signal to the second RFID reading device, wherein the output signal comprises the configuration data (ConfD).
